Abstract

We calculate the quantum states corresponding to the drifting and channeled classical orbits in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) with strong magnetic and electric modulations along one spatial direction, x. The channeled states carry high, concentrated currents along the y axis, and are confined in an effective potential well. The quantum and the classical states are compared.
